reason; cherish truth
sincerely. When you are in uncertainty, pause, or follow what appears
the most probable, always abandoning opinions that are destitute of
foundation, or evidence of their truth and benefit to society. Then
will you, in good truth, yield to the impulse of your heart when
reason is your guide; then will you consult in the calmness of
passion, and counsel yourself on the advantages of virtue, and the
consequences of its want; and you may flatter yourself that you cannot
be displeasing to a wise God, though you disbelieve absurdities, nor
agreeable to a good God in doing things hurtful to yourself or to
others.
Leaving you now to your own reflections, I shall terminate the series
of Letters you have allowed me to address you. Bidding you an
affectionate farewell,
I am truly yours.
